"You're lying," She whispered as she stumbled back a step,

"Am I?" I tapped a finger on my lips. "Have you mated? Have you kissed? Has he ever touched you other than what was necessary? Or has he been politely affectionate?

She glared at me. "So you have some power. Rowan is still stronger than you." I wanted to laugh, but I kept my mouth shut. "You still have to bow down to him." She smirked. "To me, when I become your queen.'
